I'm trying to learn how to use flash, and there's only so much I can learn on my own. I looked up some books on various websites, but I don't know which would be the "best" to use for someone completely new to the program.
View 2 RepliesGood books for learning as3.. I'm a beginner in action scripting but i'm quite enthusiastic about it.
View 1 RepliesDoes anybody know about a good book for learning "flash cs4"
View 2 RepliesLooking for a programming book that is in tutorial approach. Example this chapter teaches you how to do a login form. In the second chapter it teaches you how to integrate the login for to another app.Basically I'm looking for a book that teaches you real working application rather than abstract ideas. Programming language I have in mind is Adobe Air/Flex, Visual Basic. Functions I have in mind should at least cover Drag and Drops, Integration to a web form (form entry) and customizable interfaces.The languages i had in mind isn't fix. If you know a programming platform that has little code or easy to learn but still be able to develop a cool application.

View 1 RepliesAre there any flip books available that do not rely on external files. I need everything within the fla/swf?
View 3 RepliesI want to find a software (or method) of achieving the following:
Be able to create a Flip Book from a pdf file Be able to embed multimedia content (audio, streamed video, swf) in the pages The resulting project should work in every (or most) computer internet browser and mobile devices (android tablets and phones, iPad, iPhone i've done a lot of research already, but I can't seem to find a good solution for this. I've tried a lot of those Flip book creator softwares. Some of them work pretty well, but I haven't found one that does everything.
I'm aware of the biggest difficulty: iPad and iPhone not being able to show flash content. So I'm in the search of an idea or someone pointing me in the right direction.
For example, is there any alternative to Flash to create flipping books? I know that in HTML 5 you can embed multimedia contents that should work with iPad and iPhone, but I don't know if you can do all the "cool" stuff that flash flipping books give you )like transitions, gestures, etc.
I've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?
View 2 RepliesAny pointers where i could start learning flash programming. Also i would be really grateful if you could point me to place where i could get free templates for the programming
View 2 RepliesWhat would be a good resource for an experienced programmer to learn Flash?Consider a very seasoned programmer that doesn't require any teaching of programming concepts and that already programmed Javascript. Someone who never created a Flash file, or even know what Flex is. Someone who could probably learn ActionScript in a day but still needs to learn how to apply it.

View 4 RepliesI am looking at the creation of a quiz using the Learning Interactions in Flash.I noticed that when I place say a Multiple Choice question on the stage that the area which says 'Question will appear here' is a dynamic text field.This renders the final text bitmapped. Is there any way of getting the text to look like smooth like the rest of my work?I have tried to anti alias it for Animation and Readability but it doesn't change.nd in all honesty set against the rest of my work the text looks crap.
View 1 RepliesWhat are good books / site where you can learn the best practices for event driven programming in actionscript (3 obviously).
I've got a big project coming up and, to be honest, my flash is usually a big mess of classes and I don't want the the next one to turn into a ball of hair behemoth.
I'm having trouble getting two buttons to do anything. Right now I'm in the process of learning Flash to make a customized video player. I have a rewindButton and a playButton and both have up, over, down, hit assigned but when I run the video and hover over the buttons the mouse changes to a text cursor. No colors change and the buttons aren't clickable.I followed the Flash Video Basics 1 and 2. Also, when I take the // off of the ns play bnc.flv line, the audio echos. I have no idea what's going on.
Code: Select allvar nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

Im Flash CS4 Professional user, but i wold like to learn ActionScript 3.0. I wonder how much is cost a book about AS3 Basics? or where i can get it for free for beginner? And do Adobe have it on Russion Language?
View 2 RepliesI was at an AS3 course recently and the instructor mentioned a book that had something to do with AS3 game examples. Has anyone seen something like this and liked it? The problem is I am fairly new to AS3 and it is coming slower than I had hoped. I am the only person in my office who deals with Flash and I also have other responsibilities. So, I am looking for ways to increase my proficiency.
View 3 RepliesThe CBT involves user interaction, like quizes, quiz progress, licensing etc. Should I go with flex, or should I go with flash?
View 1 Repliesgood classes to attend or books to read on delivering video to the web? Also, some classes strictly geared toward the FMS would be awesome too.I've been using FMS since v1(I believe it was called Communication Server back then)was released and Flash/Actionscript also for a few years now, but it seems there is still so much to learn about this process. The more I read and learn the more I realize I need to be a video producer, programmer, network engineer, and server engineer all wrapped up into one. Even though I've been doing this for a few year I still see other companies out there delivering better vids that don't hiccup at all. It seems like there are some secrets to the whole process that aren't being shared or something I'm missing. At the company I work for we have people who shoot the video primarily for television. After they do their magic a high res QuickTime video is handed to me where I encode it again at different bitrates/setting that I put on the FMS and develop the web interface for the video.
It would just be nice to talk to an expert in the whole process. When I search the web there seems to be a fine line where the knowledge ends but I think the knowledge beyond that point is what makes other people's video campaigns go from normal to excellent. Also, there's not a whole lot of stuff out there for the FMS. Maybe because it's a little expensive. I want to be able to take my vid campaigns go from normal to excellent too! The one class I've been to strictly for web video was in Atlanta, GA where we used this book, Video with Adobe Flash CS4 Professional by Robert Reinhardt.
i purchased a flash template which contains flip books. they said i can add new pages to books but i couldn't
i added new pages to action script and i made new pages' movie clips in library
but the new added pages are transparency at the prewiew.
I am trying to do semi animated read-along online storybooks for kids and I would like to display the story/narration karaoke style so kids could see the story and be able to read along. I have been looking at karaoke software to do the text and voice synchronization and so far haven't had that much luck.
Synchronization is very important. I don't want to simply do an animated color mask over the test and have the text change color. Besides there are plenty of books I need to convert and the process needs to be simply automated and executed. Here is an example, [URL]
I have a client who will want an e commerce area for his site. Does anyone recommend a good Flash based program out there that will allow you to constuct an e commerce solution in both AS 2 or 3 . I know that is a lot to ask for but at this point I really need something that will not break my budget, I can use easily multiple times with different looks .

View 1 RepliesPoint me to a robust and well documented Date library for AS3. Specifically, I'd like one that works (at least in principal) like the Java date formatter, so that you can pass in a string of a specific type and get back a date object that can then be easily translated to an alternate timezone, etc. Working with the native Date object is an incredible PITA for when one needs to do things like this... I'm hoping I won't have to re-invent this wheel from scratch.
View 2 RepliesPretty straightforward. Open source is good, but organization and documentation is better. Actionscript 3 is a must, I don't really want to start working with the older versions. I guess that's the crux of my problem using Google, because there are vast quantities of how to do thing "the old way" out there, but I'm having trouble getting solid AS3/Flash9+ stuff.
View 6 RepliesIm finished with the essentials (I read and exercised AS3 Essentials from Moock) and now Im looking for a more advanced book/tutorial/guide/etc that covers deeply about AS3 game development.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good italic serif font (like Georgia) that renders well in Flash at 10pt?I'm struggling to get anything looking sharp and crisp even with style set to Readability.
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm wondering though is, are there any good resources out there for making games in Flash CS4. I know I'm going to get some "learn the basics first" replies, and yes I know I need to get a solid grounding in those, but I want to be able to start gathering resources, and look ahead to what I'll be able to do with Flash in the future. By resources I mean books, other websites, your own advice about game making, etc...
